Becca Milstein's Journey to Fishwife
Becca Milstein founded Fishwife after experiencing a revelation during the COVID-19 lockdowns, drawing inspiration from her travels in Spain where she encountered a fresh take on canned fish. Before starting Fishwife, she had no intention of becoming an entrepreneur, having developed her skills in marketing through her work at various startups. The need for high-quality, accessible canned fish became clear as she consumed this product during the pandemic, leading to discussions with friends that solidified her business idea. She recognized an untapped market in the U.S. for premium tinned fish and committed to revitalizing the category with innovative branding and a strong visual identity.
